Someone I know seriously did this...

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST PUPPY IN THE WORLD, Beowulf (last name withheld)! (name withheld) & I LOVE YOU!!

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your Dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

Acting like you're talking to the dog via Facebook... weird. Having a Facebook profile FOR their dog - why????

This is a facebook post refering to " Tennessee State Representative Richard Floyd threatened to "stomp a mudhole" into any transgender woman who uses a public restroom in Tennessee."I'm disgusted right now. The TN senator may have been out of line to say he "would stomp a mudhole in a transgender woman who used a public women's restroom" but it probably isn't as out of line as it will be when I kill someone for molesting my little girl (or boy) in a public restroom because everyone was afraid of offending someone. If u want to 'change' how God made u to be then fine. U should not be hated for that. God does not condone hate. But stay out of my restroom. U r what u r. Men dressed like women have NO right in my little Olivias restroom. and if I ever see one n there, I will not hold my tongue. I will stand up for my little girls right to not be watched by a pervert. I'm fired up. Go home to pee. U brought this on yourself!!!!

My heartrate shot up right after I posted this response: Are you saying that transgender people are more likely to be child molesters? Because you are dead wrong. Most child molesters are straight males not transgendered females. You are equating a transgendered person, someone who believes they were born the wrong gender, to a pervert. Seriously? This is sickening from someone who calls themselves a Christian.

I just deleted her. What a quacking idiot.

Ugh, my mom was talking about this. *She* doesn't want to use the bathroom with a male. I pointed out she wouldn't know the person was born male and she stated of course she would. I told her women at drag shows are crapping STACKED, and that what she wouldn't want it to use the bathroom with someone born female living life as a male. Well of course she would! Female born = female bathroom! When I pointed out that this 'female' would look like a dude was in the bathroom I think she just maybe started to get my point.

Also, I scolded her for scolding me for saying 'transgender' or 'transvestite' (I forget which) in front of my 5 year old son. Another word for him to learn and use, she said. I let her know that people like her that think it's a 'dirty' word is why transgendered persons have so much trouble feeling accepted in society when they are just trying to live their life as they feel is right for them.

1. Most Christians don't know anything about anything2. Most Christians don't actually follow the real teachings of Jesus, more of pharisees and smurfs

This is pretty much the same as saying all Atheist are devil worshipers. It's generalizing. Our Minister at the UU church is actually Christian. Now how he got through Harvard Divinity school and still was a believer I don't know. He knows his shit though, he also knows that most of the Bible isn't straight from God and doesn't ever preach hate.

I get what you are saying that most Christians don't know anything about anything. I think that's because most were raised in a church and are pretty much trained to think the Preacher/Minister/Clergy have done great research and are teaching them God's word. It's the assumption one might make if you took a class in college. You expect the person who is teaching you to know what they are talking about. I see friends/family putting blind faith into doctors the same way.

There are plenty of good Christians who do good work. There are plenty who are judgmental and downright mean too. You can't really lump everyone together though.

It's really not close minded. She was raised in a different time. And was taught different things.

My mom is the same way. She tries but it's pretty silly.

My sister in law is gay and got married last year. Her mother(mother in law to me) still to this day wispers the word gay/lesbian. It's just how she was raised.

Sorry about that, please continue to post funny things.

I do agree to some extent, but my mother is 71 years old and would never talk about others like that, even if she did not understand. I feel it is close-minded because they are just not accepting of others who are different, and judge them, and that is what makes me sad.

I know lots of Christians, being that I live in the shiny brass buckle of the bible belt.I know some good Christians. I know some apathetic Christians. I know some bible-thumping maniacs who I have to hide my own faith from because I don't generally feel like having THAT conversation YET AGAIN. I know some Christians that are just plain bad people. I know lots who don't realize that being pro-life and pro-capital punishment is hypocritical. Despite my disagreements with most of them, I still remain friends with the vast majority because everyone has some sort of worth to me. I realize that life is complicated and messy and oversimplifying or rationalizing is a lazy path to short-term ego gratification. Emphasis on the short-term.I don't make excuses for people because "that's how they were raised". That's utter bullsh!t. I wasn't "raised" to be who I am today. I got here through observing, applying, making mistakes, adapting, overcoming, and surviving. And I can't think of a single classification of person that I would ever want to "stomp a mudhole" in because they needed to expel waste from their body in a place designed for just such an event.

SON OF A! My stylist just posted this!

"Had a walk in yesterday and as i was cutting his hair i found out he was in a band. He said they were a pretty big deal...so i asked what band. Wilco! of course i know nothing about music and only later truly realized how big they are thanks to google...i also realized they were a big deal because the event he was headed to in a few weeks was the Grammy Awards!!! Talk about pressure. I guess his last cut was from the stylist from Conan O'Brien show and i found out after i told him what i felt was wrong with his hair. haha I have awesome bragging rights. This should make every one of you want to come see me and get an awesome new do "Unlike · · 16 minutes ago ·

"Bon Iver is the shit if you've never listened to them. Theyre like Radiohead meets Pink Floyd meets (something else). Listen to them with some good Headphones because theyre very layered."

This description really pissed me off for being totally off base in my opinion. I also consider Bon Iver a him, not a them. It took all my strength not to be a music snob and call this guy a tard on facebook. At least he likes Bon Iver, I guess.

So this chick I know is very high and mighty. She's wild unless she's on facebook or in church. The definition of a Sunday Christian. Now she is very cool outside of this whole thing BUT....

From her FB today"Pastor Brent for President!!!! We need someone who is not too scared to stand up for what God demands rather than goes with choices to win a popularity contest. Thanks Obama for leading our nation exactly against our Bible and Constitution. 2 things this country was founded on."

Large 74 post argument back and forth

Last post from a girl she has known for a long time"You will never stray from it? But have you not strayed from it? Have you not had premarital sex? Did you not have a child out of wedlock? Did you not go to bed with me and another man? Have you not kissed me and experimented with women? Yes, you can repent. And you can be forgiven of your sins. But that doesn't mean that those things didn't happen."

haha...I had a conversation with the crazy chick on my friend's fb page the other day. It was interesting trying to decipher what she was saying and I eventually told her that she was a bad speller. Her response..."it b intentiaaal"....I died. Friend request accepted. I will suffer reading through her posts so we can all enjoy the insanity!
